I made the decision Saturday to pull the trigger on the cheaper MacBook Pro configuration selling in the Special Deals section of the Apple Store for $999. Naturally, as soon as I got around to adding the thing to my cart, it was out of stock. Anybody have any sense as to how commonly this deal comes up? Your guidance would be most appreciated.

Item on apple store is not tax free. Some apple authorized retailers (like Macmall, clubmac, etc.) are offering new Macbook Pro with a price pretty much close to the after-tax price of Apple store. So I will turn to them.

Actually I got a 13.3 inch MBP from Clubmac.com last week for $1070 after all kinds of mail-in rebates, plus I got free Parallel 4.0 and a HP printer. I think that's a much better deal than that on apple store.

Haha thanks I've been looking around the Apple Store for the last 5 mins looking for a feed link! At one point I thought the UK version must not have a feed and was just about to give up! Cheers for the link as they have a UK one as well!
